Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: The student repeated the examiner's question instead of answering. For improvement, answer directly with a clear topic sentence (yes/no and brief detail), then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Keep responses natural, concise (max 5 sentences), and relevant vocabulary (e.g. 'rode', 'learned', 'neighbourhood').

例: Yes, I had a bike when I was a child. I learned to ride it at about seven years old, and my parents helped me practice in our quiet street. Because I rode it every day, I became quite confident and used it to visit friends and go to the local park.

提案: Again, the student repeated the question instead of giving an opinion. To improve, state your opinion clearly first, then support it with specific reasons or examples linked logically (for example, 'because', 'for instance', 'therefore'). Use context-relevant vocabulary like 'commuting', 'infrastructure', 'cycling culture'.

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country because many people use them for short commutes and exercise. For instance, cities have dedicated bike lanes and share schemes, so more commuters choose cycling to avoid traffic and save money.

× Did you have a bike when you were a child?

✓ Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.

The original is a repetition of the examiner's question rather than an answer. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) because the response lacks a verb-based answer and does not convey information. Correct response should be a complete declarative sentence matching the past tense of the question: use past simple 'had'. Suggestion: answer directly with 'Yes, I had a bike when I was a child.' or 'No, I didn’t have a bike when I was a child.' Note: Changes follow the question's past tense and provide a clear subject and past-tense verb.

× Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.

The original repeats the examiner's question instead of providing an answer, which is a sentence structure error (ID 26). The correct reply should be a present-tense declarative sentence matching the question's present-tense form. Use 'I think' plus the clause 'bikes are popular in my country.' Suggestion: answer directly with 'Yes, I think bikes are popular in my country.' or 'No, I don't think bikes are popular in my country.'
